  Wonderful Boutique Resort

  What a wonderful resort. My adult daughters, husband, and I stayed for five nights. The staff was warm and accommodating. The grounds are beautiful. The food was fresh. Each night, a different ethnic cuisine was served. The chef, kitchen, and service staff took pride in pleasing guests. In addition to foreign travellers, there were many Costa Rican families. The resort has a private entrance to the beach. We spent time swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and watching the most magnificent sunsets. We enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere and the ease of our stay and would like to return.

  Pura Vida 🥰

  Beautiful, Peaceful Stay — Perfect for a Few Days of Relaxation: We really enjoyed our stay at CC Beachfront Papagayo. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and a great place to relax and enjoy Costa Rica. The beachfront location is wonderful, the property is well maintained, and the overall atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. For us, 3–4 days was the perfect amount of time. The resort is on the quieter side, which we appreciated, but there isn't a lot of entertainment or activities at night. If you're looking for nightlife or a busy resort atmosphere, this may not be the place for you. However, if your goal is to disconnect, relax by the beach or pool, and use the resort as a base for exploring the area, it's a great choice. We had a very positive experience and enjoyed our time here. It was a beautiful and relaxing way to start our Costa Rica vacation! 🇨🇷🌴🌊

  Freddie’s at CC Beach Front

  We visited Costa Rica last month and we took four tours with Freddie’s Experiences. Each was filled with its own uniqueness and a full palate of experiences. At first we took a safari at the river and then fed iguanas at the park. The guide was very knowledgeable about all nature species but also provided insights into local culture. Then we went on the Adrenaline tour - the name speaks for itself but speaking of adrenaline, this was the most trying zipline experience. Then we went on a nature walk, with coffee and cocaa tour included, and were very impressed by all but the specific cocoa and chocolate farm was out of this world. Again, the guide was very knowledgeable. The fourth trip was a sunset boat tour which included a full bar and snorkeling experience. All these tours were very different and provided a very unique perspective on its own, which diversified the trip. Highly recommended!

  8 Days in Peaceful Paradise

  It was our first time in Costa Rica, and it definitely won't be our last! We had a few non-negotiable criteria when selecting a vacation spot, and CC Beach Front Papagayo met and/or exceeded them all: First, beautiful calm beach. The hotel is located on Playa Panama, in the Gulf of Papagayo. The water is clear, calm (no waves at all), and very refreshing. The sand is volcanic, so it's dark, but it's very soft and there are no rocks at all leading into the water. It's a public beach, but no one will bother you. Second, the dining. There is one main buffet restaurant where you can have all your meals. (There is a smaller "restaurant" that requires reservations and has a small tasting menu, but we didn't do that so we cannot comment.). The buffet never failed to please. Breakfast featured made-to-order omelets and a selection of fresh fruits, baked goods, cereals, yogurt, sausage...and delicious coffee made in the Costa Rican style. Lunch had a selection of meat, fish, veggies, all great. Dinner was a different theme every night-- Asian, Italian, Mexican, Costa Rican, Caribbean, etc., all fantastic. There is something for everyone. (Hats off to the chef, Christian. )You will not go hungry here. Also, there are bars in the restaurant and at the pools, so you will not go thirsty ;-) Third, the accommodations. This is a beautifully laid out, spacious property. There are only 50 rooms, so it's never crowded. The rooms might be a little old, but everything worked fine and was kept clean by the staff. It is very quiet here after 9-10 PM, and there is no nightly entertainment. But that is what we wanted: peace and quiet, and CC Papagayo delivered. Fourth , and very importantly, the staff. Every single staff member we interacted with, from front desk to restaurant to cleaning/maintenance, was very pleasant and friendly. We'd like to single out a few staff members who stood out: Kendy, Alberto, Kevin, Brian, and Daniel in the restaurant. They always greeted us with a big smile and made conversation with us. Thank you for making us feel welcome and at home. Andrea, who works at the tour desk, also was a pleasant presence to greet us every morning/afternoon. (Also, she is great with setting up the right excursion for you--what fits your needs and interests. Highly recommend the Rio Celeste Rainforest Tour.) All in all, if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, clean and beautiful resort in Costa Rica, look no further than CC Papagayo. Highly, highly, highly recommended.
